SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.

SAN FRANCISCO. October 25th.
FIOUR-Fair movement in progress. Stocks
are not heavy, but they are on the increase,
while no difficulty is experienced i'll filling all
legitimate wants. We quote net cash prices for
California Best Family, 81 0594 10 . Dbl;
Bakers extra, 50 S0@i; Superfine, 81 90@S 20.
WHEAT-There is but little sample trading,
and this is mainly on milling account. Pur-
chases on the part of shippers are notably light.
vi course, III the absence OF any quick export
trade it is not easy 10 deiiEe the market exactly
as to values. The current range for No STAN
dard is 81 25@1 271a 4 ctl, and lO0-ton lots are
daily changing hands on this basis But we are
reliably informed that bid yesterday of 81 80
for round lot in warehouse, or at shipping
point, did not bring out seller. This would
seem to indicate that holders have favorable
opinions as TO the future.
BARLEG-The market is pretty well stocked
and buyers not inclined to- be very liberal in
making purchases. The general asking price
ior reed OF the better quality Is Soc q ctl, but
trade IS slow and almost nominal. 1t is doubt
full II moderate concessions would develop any
great activity; Speculation in the Call Board
has much influence on selling figures in the
open market, and this barometer is closely
watched by operators with a view of making
quick turns. Brewing shows no improvement,
either in the volume of business or in higher
prices. From 81 TO 81 02i% is the range for GOOD
10 choice. There is some talk about an export
inquiry for Cheyaier, but so far we have not
heard Of any positive steps in that direction
Even moderate shipments Just now would help
matters. Chevalicr is nominally quotable at
s5c@sl for fair bay, and 81 l59l p for good TO
choice bay.
OATS-Receipts are coming down with more
freedom from the north, the arrivals to-day
including 1909 sacks equally divided between
| Oregon and Washington Territory. The market
| is not III bad shape. There is general inquiry
with fair volume of business, so that by little
| iudicious handling of the situation, prices arc
! kept in steady position. Choice Feed, 81 400

FRUIT-Cantaloupe are out of favor, and
sellers are at a disadvantage. This fruit will
soon disappear. Small shipments of Water
melons are still received, being j0bbed out at
irregular prices. Only Apples of good flavor
are in demand. Common stock goes begging
Offerings of choice Pears are light. Strawberries
bring good prices. California Lemons are com
ing to market in nice condition, finding pretty
good custom. Fresh arrivals of Mexican Lines
have caused a marked break in values. Grapes
drag there being but poor demand. 1t is
reported that tee Raymond Hotel manager

Grapes. to be placed in cold Storage at River

DRIED FRUIT-Market dull and weak, as
